Perth: Lee's Bonsai World vs. Miss Luong's Kitchen

Is it just me or there is a bit of a competition for advertising space here? And who painted the mural Miss Luong or Mr. Lee?

Worst possible introduction to Bonsai

I found it at last – the worst possible introduction to bonsai. It is an American product called “Miniature Indoor Bonsai Tree Garden”. I like it because it is wrong in so many different ways! It starts with a ridiculous name and then goes on to tells us that “This box contains one tub of miniature tree seeds pre-planted in a specifically formulated growing medium, plus a dwarf terracotta pot, a propagating cover and suitable compost.” So, that’s how it works!
...........................................................................................................


(MINIATURE TREE SEEDS) + (DWARF TERRACOTTA POT) = (MINIATURE INDOOR BONSAI TREE GARDEN)

Now that we are armed with the secret bonsai formula, how can we go wrong?

Bonsai Show of Nepean Bonsai Society



Today, I saw the annual bonsai show of Nepean Bonsai Society held at Penrith PCYC. There were a couple of modest trees, but the display of miniature bonsai pots from the collection of John Marsh stole the show. The photographs say it all.

Another pot


Last Christmas holidays, I missed playing with clay so much that one day I just sat and started hand-forming a small bonsai pot. It took long to get it fired, but the result is pleasing.
